| Abstract: | This paper investigates triple bottom-line (TBL) disclosures (here as: disc.) of 50 among largest U.S. and Japanese companies. 20 disc. criteria were developed for each of the TBL disc. areas: economic, environmental, and social. Disc. information was examined in annual reports, stand-alone reports, and special website reports. Regression analysis was used for empirically examining the determinants of TBL disc. practice. Among others, results show that, for total TBL disc., the extent of reporting is higher for firms with larger size, lower profitability, lower liquidity, and for firms with membership in the manufacturing industry. |
